In June, Kickstarter announced Canadian developers would be able to use the site to crowdfund their projects. Following up to the news, Kickstarter now announces Canadians would be able to launch their projects on Sept. 9.

Kickstarter will hold events in Toronto on Aug. 8 and 9, as well in Montreal on Aug. 12 and 13. In addition, Kickstarter outlined in its requirements the following: a permanent Canadian residence, a Canadian bank account, address and government-issued identification, and a major Canadian credit card.

As it stands, Kickstarter is available in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
